“This world was unreal, like a dream or adventure on the pages of a picture book, and yet realer than the whole entire world. By entering this world one entered a dream, and dreams were realer to Leena than the day time and ordinary life itself. One could imagine an escape from ordinary life, but not from a dream; in dreams everything happened fatefully, unconditionally, there was no alternative. A dream was absolute like some scary, beautiful fairy tale, prewritten, hence so frightening.” — Eeva-Liisa Manner
